Effect of discriminative plant-sugar feeding on the survival and fecundity of Anopheles gambiae (2007)

Manda, Hortance, Gouagna, Louis C, Foster, Woodbridge A, Jackson, Robert R, Beier, John C, Githure, John I, ...

Abstract Background A previous study showed for Anopheles gambiae s.s . a gradation of feeding preference on common plant species growing in a malaria holoendemic area in western Kenya. The present...

Larval habitats of Anopheles gambiaes.s. (Diptera: Culicidae) influences vector competence to Plasmodium falciparumparasites (2007)

Okech, Bernard A, Gouagna, Louis C, Yan, Guiyun, Githure, John I, Beier, John C

Abstract Background The origin of highly competent malaria vectors has been linked to productive larval habitats in the field, but there isn't solid quantitative or qualitative data to support it. To...

Host genotype by parasite genotype interactions underlying the resistance of anopheline mosquitoes to Plasmodium falciparum (2005)

Lambrechts, Louis, Halbert, Jean, Durand, Patrick, Gouagna, Louis C, Koella, Jacob C

Abstract Background Most studies on the resistance of mosquitoes to their malaria parasites focus on the response of a mosquito line or colony against a single parasite genotype. In natural...

RESISTANCE OF EARLY MIDGUT STAGES OF NATURAL PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM PARASITES TO HIGH TEMPERATURES IN EXPERIMENTALLY INFECTED ANOPHELES GAMBIAE (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) (2004)

Bernard A. Okech, Louis C. Gouagna, Ephantus W. Kabiru, Elizabeth Walczak, John C. Beier, Guiyun Yan, ...

We studied the effects of high temperature, 30 and 32 versus 27 C on early Plasmodium falciparum development in Anopheles gambiae experimentally infected with gametocytes from 30 volunteers with mean...

Plasmodium falciparumgametocyte carriage in asymptomatic children in western Kenya (2004)

Bousema, J, Gouagna, Louis C, Drakeley, Chris J, Meutstege, Annemiek M, Okech, Bernard A, Akim, Ikupa NJ, ...

Abstract Background Studies on Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte development and dynamics have almost exclusively focused on patients treated with antimalarial drugs, while the majority of parasite...

Influence of Sugar Availability and Indoor Microclimate on Survival of Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) Under Semifield Conditions in Western Kenya (2003)

Bernard A. Okech, Louis C. Gouagna, Gerard F. Killeen, Bart G. J. Knols, Ephantus W. Kabiru, John C. Beier, ...

The influence of indoor microclimate on survival of female Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto Giles (Diptera: culicidae) mosquitoes fed on different nutrition sources was evaluated in a semifield...

Influence of age and previous diet of Anopheles gambiae on the infectivity of natural Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes from human volunteers

Okech, Bernard A., Gouagna, Louis C., Kabiru, Ephantus W., Beier, John C., Yan, Guiyun, Githure, John I.

The effect of age and dietary factors of Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) on the infectivity of natural Plasmodium falciparum parasites was studied. Mosquitoes of various ages (1–3, 4–7 and...
